The first project I'd like to share is DecorreLab , a script I wrote back in college as a project for a couple of my classes, particularly 3D Sound and Spatial Audio.  While there are apparently some VST plugins that do decorrelation, I'll provide my source so you can run with it and improve it if you wish.  Plus, you'll know exactly what algorithm I use. ;) What's SuperCollider? It's an IDE and language (heavily based on Smalltalk) for carrying out real-time audio synthesis and effects processing.  It works best on Mac OSX, and has built-in filters, sequencers, frequency generators, impulse generators, noise gates, and all sorts of goodies to let you do pretty much anything you can imagine with computer sound.  You might be thinking that a purely object-oriented language such as Smalltalk would incur substantial performance penalties (i.e. how the heck is it doing real-time audio synthesis without choking all the time?), but surprisingly, it's not easy t...
